Dr. Dale Tylor answered

Specializes in ENT - Head & Neck Surgery - Pediatric

Eat anything : There is no reason to avoid any food with sinus infection. Some people find dairy products can make them more mucousy, and by all means if that happens to you it is reasonable to cut back on dairy during such an infection. While you may not be able to smell as well (and thus not able to taste as well), you can eat anything.
